A Humble Heart
"Two men went tot the Temple to pray.
One was a Pharisee, and the other
was a despised tax collector.The Pharisee stood
by himself and prayed this prayer; 'I thank you,
God, that I am not a sinner like everyone else.
For I don't cheat, I don't sin, and
I don't commit adultery. I'm certainly not like t
hat tax collector! I fast twice a week,
and I give you a tenth of my income.
But the tax collector stood at a distance and
dared not even life his eyes to heaven as he prayed.
Instead, he beat his chest in sorrow, saying,
'O God, be merciful to me, for I am a sinner.'
I tell you, this sinner, not the Pharisee,
returned home justified before God. For those
who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those
who humble themselves will be exalted."
Do you feel cut off from God for the things you have done?
God wants you no matter your wrongs just wants you to humble yourself before him. None of us are better then the other God looks at us the same his love is not more for one then the other. If you go to him he will listen and love you just the same!
Today I found my relationship with God became closer. I went to him and was mad and angry and I told him just that " I am mad and angry! You need to fix this and NOW!" this went back a forth for a little while then I found myself feeling peace and I came to a humble place. said I was sorry. As I felt Him say "I am sorry too, you didn't give me the chance to explain" Wow God wanted to Explain yet in my yuckiness didn't even give Him the chance!
